Elk

“Ryan and I had an awesome hunt. By the fifth morning we realized that shooting an animal was just a bonus. We called them across a clear cut, a meadow, had them 20’ away, and snuck up on some. The next morning we chased one down and eventually shot it. What a bonus!! Thanks also for the memorable bear hunt. Ryan will never forget it… Good luck hunting… Hope to see you guys this spring!
Thanks again.”

“Today was the end of our 9 day hunt. I hated to see last evening come to an end. I feel we’ve built a friendship that will last a lifetime. Game harvested is a sweet bonus. I feel fortunate to have taken the best elk of my life, and done it with you. I am certain we will share many hunts in our lifetime. You all have been a big help with the new show we are starting, and hopefully someday I can be of service to you. Thanks again.”

“This is like visiting the ‘Waltons.’ I shot my elk on 1st morning with Paul”ine” and Jake. What a great hunt! I would definitely do it again! Great food & company and a few good animals. Thanks again guys!!! Paul was my guide and he was an excellent guide. It was a pleasure spending 10 days with the entire Heimerl family! Paul & Cheri have some of the nicest boys I’ve ever met. I will be back to get my moose. The elk Paul called in and I shot were just awesome. Thanks again Paul & Cheri.”

“What a great time! Hunting was excellent. Hospitality was awesome. Food was the best. Franz is a great guide & now a good friend. Thanks Chad, for the hunting stick. The whole experience of hunting & staying in the lodge & camping in the spike camp was beyond my expectations. Thanks & good luck.”

“It’s time to go home and I’m not happy – for an outfit that’s only three years old this place rocks. I can only imagine the time and effort you have invested, but you have done a wonderful job. My three trips out west don’t hold a candle to this place. Is it possible to see any more game! Thanks so much for a great time.”

“Had a great time up here, it was the best hunt I was ever on - great food - the country is beautiful. Shot a nice elk - very happy with everything. The guides were great, I will definitely come back again. (Only with a bigger gun.)”

“First big game hunt w/Dad & brother. Quotes for week by Franz (guide)
‘Stop shooting I think the poor bears hit.’
‘What’s the matter are you cold?’
(Joe) ‘Hell no I’ve got elk fever’
Special moment shot 6x7 elk w/Dad 324 yards. Both shooting. Paul not much time together. Cheri great food. Guides Franz & Dustin never gave up.
Last night of hunt 6x7 elk.”
- Joe Zilisch, Wisconsin

This was my wish for my last hunt. Thank you.”
